Texas rules to know before your website goes live
These are some of the Texas and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Texas sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $500,000 or more in total Texas revenue in the preceding twelve calendar months (sellers below that stay inside the safe harbor). 34 Tex. Admin. Code Section 3.286
- Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- Check with both Collin County and the City of Blue Ridge about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source

Common questions about a website in Blue Ridge
Can the website say I serve the whole of Collin County?
Yes. A service area page can cover every part of Collin County you serve.
My business is in Blue Ridge, but I also work in Farmersville. Can the website show that?
Yes. A service area page can name each town you cover, such as Farmersville, Princeton and Trenton.
With 1,265 people in Blue Ridge, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Collin County counts 133,097 nonemployer businesses and 31,012 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Blue Ridge is the point of the website.
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
No. The domain is part of the plan; if you already have one, we use yours.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
